The organism evolves. It dies and gives birth to itself, forgets its prior lives and recalls them in a flash of sulfurous intuition. Shinyville manifests currently as an eight-year experiment in engineered ur-reality, transubstantiating tones into sermons, handcuffs into decorative lizards, and denial into expectations.
"Most religions of the past have failed by expecting Nature to conform with their ideals of proper conduct." Not here, mates. Life creates a launching pad for the Geist by engineering a thousand near-deaths. The equinox of the gods refracts the twilight of the idols.
Become an infant in our infantry, a baby in the New Babylonian Imminence Corps. We will meet every soldier with an endless supply of hunchbacks, each handcrafted in bronze and blood.
Shinyville is a cult. Shinyville is a secret society. Shinyville is at once apolitical and revolutionary. Shinyville is a formula for the promotion of epilepsy, schizophrenia, and tripolar disorder. Shinyville isn't an injection of counter-culture into your jugular.

When Joni Mitchell was 22, she was a homeless folksinger - the courts took away her 2 year old daughter and the daughter was adopted out. Then Joni Mitchell wrote the legendary song, "BOTH SIDES NOW".
One stanza of her brilliant prose...
“Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I’ve looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed. Something is lost but something's gained in living every day"
SO FOR ME -- Life is a gift, HOWEVER, it is not a Disneyland ride. No one gets out alive.. spiritually maybe, you be the judge...
I will have to start coming to see you guys more often. Unfortunately, I've only seen you live once (with MSI over a year ago) but I REALLY liked what I heard.
